Vanity Darkcoin Addresses

Ahh, OK. Great. Just need to import private key. Thank you!

And no, no exe. I just ran 'make' to compile it. I've been reading about making an exe however and I'm going to get onto doing that after work. I used the generator on a hosted Ubuntu session and it was pretty slow. If I can get exe working on my windows machine, it has 2 x R9 290X cards in it, that I'm hoping to use to speed things up a bit.

I'll send you link if I get it sorted though.
Thank you! I've been so busy with work and after work I got so tired so I haven't tried to compile this on the VS (which I need to install also on another computer).. I'm glad you're doing this. :)
 
Woohoo !!

ETA: 21 days using a -D option with 1 core VM Ubuntu with 2GB ram! :grin:

Have to ring up my GPU mining buddy
 
had the same,,,difficulty was 888457612959 did 5 out of 888 today after 12 hours...so I stopped it......with gpu on windows would be better ;)
 
Any chance someone could compile it for windows?

i have a bunch of gpu's 290x and 280x that i can use, i can even do some hashing for new address if someone wants it, but rigs are on windows because of proper fan control i had problems regulating it on linux

Works under macOS High Sierra (10.13) and Mojave (10.14) adapting these instructions to DarkVanityGen.

Here are the steps for macOS:
  • Open Terminal.
  • Install Homebrew if not already done.
  • Enter command: brew install pcre pcre++ openssl (or brew update pcre pcre++ openssl if you already have them)
  • Enter command: git clone https://github.com/propulsions/DarkVanityGen
  • Open pattern.h in some text editor, replace the line #define INLINE inline by #define INLINE — then save and close.
  • Open Makefile in some text editor, replace the following lines
LIBS=-lpcre -lcrypto -lm -lpthread
CFLAGS=-ggdb -o3 -Wall

by

LIBS= -lpcre -lcrypto -lm -lpthread
INCPATHS=-I$(shell brew --prefix)/include -I$(shell brew --prefix openssl)/include
LIBPATHS=-L$(shell brew --prefix)/lib -L$(shell brew --prefix openssl)/lib
CFLAGS=-ggdb -O3 -Wall -Qunused-arguments $(INCPATHS) $(LIBPATHS)

then save and close.​
  • In the Terminal, go inside the DarkVanityGen folder then enter command: make all
DarkVanityGen is now installed on your Mac, even if certain steps above might very well be unnecessary, because I'm no expert at all, I'm just blindly adapting. (Also: someone, rename DarkVanityGen to DashVanityGen, please!…)

To use D…VanityGen (at your own risk of course), simple type this command in your Terminal: ./vanitygen -D "Xdaf" — assuming you're interested in Dash addresses beginning by Xdaf, which you're not. Try ./vanitygen -D "XfLuffy" instead, but this might take longer, i.e. an expected heavy load on your CPU. When you get your private key, you might verify it here for instance (Wallet details > Enter private key > View details) or by some other smarter and faster way that I don't know.

Remember that these characters: I, O and l cannot be used. That's why we have "XfLuffy" instead of "Xfluffy" above.

I have forked this project and added your instructions and it works on my MacOs Mojave. Few fixes needed (number of processor threads for example) and a GUI would be great .
You can find it here https://github.com/med4u/DashVanityGen !
